Comment on planning applications

As your comments can be seen by others you should take care about what personal information relating to you is also included when sending your comments.

We do not require your name, signature, email or postal address or any other personal information. However, if you do not give us your postal address we may not be able to fully assess the impact of the development on you or give much weight to your comments.

We will acknowledge receipt of your comments and notify you of the council's decision and any subsequent appeal. Decisions and appeals can be seen on this website.

If you send your comments as a separate attachment to your letter or email with no personal information, other than just your postal address, only the attachment will be available for inspection.

If you provide us with your name and contact details these will be included in our planning applications database but will not be used for any purpose other than to contact you further in respect of this application and any subsequent appeal or proceedings resulting from the council's decision.

Please ensure therefore that you only provide information, including personal information about you, that you are happy will be made available to others. If you give information belonging to someone else please ensure that you have their permission to do so.
